BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teachers do so much more than educate – they mentor, coach sports teams,
sponsor school organizations, lead tutorials and serve as role models
for their students. To thank them for the vital role they play
throughout their communities, Books-A-Million is honoring
teachers with its bi-annual Educator Week. From April 7-14,
teachers can save 25 percent on any purchase made in-store or online and
can also enter to win sweepstakes prizes! Additionally, teachers are
invited to a special in-store kick-off event at all 215 locations on
Saturday, April 7 from 2-4 p.m.!

As part of Educator Week, teachers who bring their school ID to any
Books-A-Million location will have the opportunity to register for their
official Educator Card, which grants them access to benefits and
discounts offered during Educator Week and throughout the year!

“Teachers dedicate so much of their lives to educating the next
generation,” said Scott Kappler, chief marketing officer at
Books-A-Million. “Holding Educator Week to celebrate and thank the men
and women who lead and inspire our nation’s youth is an honor we are
proud to share with the communities across the country.”

All Books-A-Million locations will host a special kick-off event on
Saturday, April 7 from 2-4 p.m. to launch the weeklong celebration!
Teachers are invited to visit their local stores to pick up free
classroom resource materials, a complimentary Joe Muggs coffee or tea
and enjoy their favorite flavor of Yogurt Mountain soft-serve – at
select locations. For more details, please visit booksamillion.com/storefinder.

There are a variety of sweepstakes prizes for teachers, featuring a
$1,000 Books-A-Million gift card and four $250 Books-A-Million gift
cards. Educators can also enter to win a mega prize pack, which includes
the chance to Skype visit with Judy Moody series author Megan McDonald!
